  • Abstract
  • Look Inside

A 25-year-old woman presented with pain and swelling of the right upper eyelid since 4 days before. Her corrected visual acuity was 0.2 right and 1.5 left. Her right eye showed mild proptosis,conjunctival hyperemia and serous retinal detachment. Magnetic resonance imaging(MRI)showed thickening of the sclera and choroid. Extraocular muscles and lacrimal gland showed high intensity images. Positron emission tomography(PET)gave inconclusive findings. Systemic examinations ruled out collagen disease including Wegener granulomatosis and rheumatoid arthritis. We diagnosed her with posterior scleritis. Pulsed corticosteroid therapy was followed by improved clinical findings the next day. While the cause of posterior scleritis remained unclarified,MRI was decisive in establishing the diagnosis.
